Farmer Holm on the Hog.

Editor of the PdIdtkd NelCs.
hope your editorial concerning the
Florida hog will prompt the present
Legislature to pass some law that will,
in measure at least, protect the
farmers from the hog. 1t occurs to me
that this is very important matter
looking to the interest of the farming
community. At present the hogs of
Florida are doing more damage than
they are worth, to say nothing of the
cost of fencing against them.
am in favor of IA sweeping hog law,
requiring all hogs to be kept securely in
closed. More than likely public senti-
ment would not at this time favor a law
SO strict, but / do think that the people
throughout the State would favor a law
something like the following:
Owners may be held responsible foi
all damages done by their hogs to prop
erty protected by a lawful fence
Said damages to be collected by law at the
expense of the owner of the hog. Or,
hogs found in any place, protected by a
lawful fence, may be held or sold for
damages after being advertised ten days
by three public posted notices, and not
being redeemed by the owner paying
damages and cost of advertising.
A lawful fence" against hogs in Flo
rida, shall not 3e less than three feet
high, with openings not to exceed five
inches. \ body of water, four feet
deep, shall be considered lawful
fence" against hogs.
A law something like the above would
ermit hogs to run at large, and at the
same time give the farmer and gardener
proper protection against them. 1t would
not entirely remove the evil, but it
would greatly diminish it, until in a
few Y ears public sentiment would favor
and sustain strict hog law.

A Right Smart Nebraska Boy.
Chicago Herald.

Il want to tell You little story about
my boy out in Newbraskey," said an old
farmer in the smoking car to the party
of drummeTs who had been telling some
pretty tall yarns. My boy is good
deal of genius in his way, femme tell
YOU, and none of 'em gets ahead of him.
T'other day he rugged up kite. 1t was
the biggest kite I'd ever set eyes ON. 1t
was about six feet wide, and twice
as long, an ON top of it my boy
placed few green branches which he'd
cut from cottonwood tree. What 5
them fer" [ inquired. Never YOU mind
dad, says he: Il know what I'm about
And, by gosh. he did. He flew that kite
up in the air an stood watching of il for
long time, when | says to him; Hou'd
better pull that thing down. now, and
get to your work. 'Lemme alone, dad,
he replied. III git thar yet And. by
gosh, he d nj. The next time / took a
look mt him he was hauling in ON that
kite line, and with a smile on his face
as broad as a furrier. When the kite
came down near the ground l saw what
he was snlilin' at, an it was enough to
make body smile, too. ANY you fellers
want To guess what was on that kite:"
| None of the drummers wanted to
| guess, and the old man continued his
| story:
| w iiis StI' d-SllllD ON the TOP % Inat
| kite was eleven o the purtiest wild geese
| We ever saw. Yes. sir. eleven on EN-,
| You see the geese was flynn North purity
| thick, an my boy he got up this scheme
| to catch EN-. There amt many trees
| out our way, an after fat goose has
been flynn purity steady all day he gets
kind o tired like an looks around for a
| place To sit down an rest. That's lust
what my was countin' on when he built
that kite. By offerin' the geese place
| to stop an rest, an by smearin' the top
| o the kite with tar So their feet would
stick So fast they couldn't get away. he
did the business. BY Gosh, but il was
fun to pull them geese in. just as fast
as we could send the kite up and pull her
down again we got from ten To twelve
geese. au' I'm takin' EN- to Chicago nbw
To sell. None o you smart story tellin
fellers don't happen to know what wild
geese is wuth in the Chicago market, dc

Angry Fruit Growers.
New York Times.

NEwBURG, n. ", May 15.-Fruit
growers all along the Hudson River be-
tween Cornwall and CatskiIl, distance
of over 60 miles, are angry with the
commission men in New York City who
e xpect to act as middlemen between the
producers and consumers this summer.
Every variety of fruit will yield enor-
mOusly. The indications are that the
first cOnsignments Ofstrawberries will be
ready for shipment Is DAYS hence. Dur
ing the past two weeks committees of
fruit growers have waited upon the
agents, asking that they either reconsider
their ultimatum that much of this sea-
sons fruit yield must be shipped in nom
returnable crates, usually designated as
gift packages, or else the commission
men should agree to a lower schedule of
carriage rates, and to decrease in the
amounts of commission received. Sew
eral of the committees were informed
that the agents could not afford to lower
rates. Other firms asked for time to con-
slider the matter, and they decided yes
terday afternoon that it would be inn
possible for them to make any conces-
sions whatever. Fruit growers here and
there along the Hudson received word
to the effect by mail to-day and they pro-
pose, like the peach growers in Della
ware, to do this. that and the other
thing.
1t is pointed out that a fruit growers
exchange could easily be organized in
New York, and if what some of the fruit
producers say is fair criterion to go by
an exchange may be formed, and very
soon at that. From the growers's point
of view the commission men have things
all In their own hands. The fruit is
shipped to them and they make weekly
returns, after deducting 10 per cent.
commission and the amount of the
freight and carriage. The shipper re-
ceives check for the balance. The
grower does not know who buys the
fruit, as the agents never give names,
nor does he know what it sells for. He
has To trust in the agents honesty. Ii
is understood that number of growers
have made private arrangements with
several firms, and that the Newburg,
Poughkeepsie, Catskill, and other lines
of steamers have agreed to carry the
fruit more cheaply than formerly,
where non-returnable packages are used.
The fruit industry along the Hudson
is now IA vast one, and if the New York
commission men, by forming a ''com-
bine." can force the growers to ship
much of their products in gift crates, 1T
will necessitate an outlay of Thousand
of dollars, not only this season but In
every season following. Up to date all
kinds of baskets and crates have been
returned free. and where even one was
lost the Commission men have had to
pay for it. The fruit growers intend t.
make a bitter fight.

An Infidel on Trial.


Morristown, n. j., was yesterday in
fever of excitement over the opening of
the trial of an alleged infidel. Charles
b. Reynolds was formerly a minister of
the gospel, but, as lie claims, his eyes
were opened, and he became a pro-
nOunced infidel. He took to nOmadic
preaching, and when he could not give
spice enough to his lectures, he distri5-
uted among his hearers a pamphlet con-
tanning blasphemous language against
the Deity. In the course of his travels
he visited Boonton, Y. j., and there
erected tent. Curiosity brought large
number of people to hear him, but his
utterances were so blasphamous, it was
claimed, that he was threatened with
lynching if he did not leave the locality.
Mr. Reynolds did not leave, and so a
mob pulled down his tent and intended
to tear him asunder, but he made his
escape As he showed no inclination to
leave the town he was arrested, and sub
sequently indicted, under the old New
Jersey laws, for blasphemous language.
The case has been put off once or
twice before. and was again adjourned
yesterday until Thursday, in conse-
quence of the inability of Col. Ingerson,
who is Reynolds counsel, to be present
until that day. The desire to see Col.
Ingersoll and hstel to the trial, brought
a large crowd to court yesterday.

they told jess that if he did not go 10
work the next day they would call and
give him a double allowance next day.
Jess is n constitutional loafer. and for
a year or more has had no visible means
of support, passing all of his time sit
